We are getting a shrek cmf based on the original trilogy versions in september (it was planned to tie in with the movie 5 but the film got delayed) so now it's more of an anniversary cmf. I also expect that cmf Shrek to not have a Hagrid type body like 5 version and we get a Gingy minifig too. I wonder if they will add more sets to 2027 lineup since these were 2026 before the delay, like the dragon for example. There's a Donkey movie supposed to come in 2028 and Shrek 6 and 7 in development too. So I expect the theme to have a long run.

These pokemon sets are fucking terrible, you have to buy the most expensive set to actually get 2 smart bricks to battle?
They should have gone the mario route, a cheap starter set sold at a loss with 2 basic pokemon, 2 smart bricks and tags, and a charger. Then the other sets could just be more popular pokemon and tags to expand your collection.

>>11804937
The Pikachu treehouse also has a smart brick, the Mario sets were much better

remember when people were concerned about pokemon sets being "scalped?"
well, every time I've been to a wal mart / target they are fully stocked on pokemon sets, no one is buying them. Even my costco has an entire pallet of evee that no one is buying.

These sets look like shit, let's be honest. I hope it's a massive flop for Lego.

>>11804940
>The Pikachu treehouse also has a smart brick
It does but only one, meaning you have get another smart brick to actually battle. I get that these are playsets, but locking one of the main parts of pokemon behind getting the most expensive set (or already having smart bricks from the Star Wars line) is super shit.

>>11804944
They need to rethink their approach with Pokemon and fast, I don't wanna wait another 7 years until they course correct like they did with Mario, we are getting Mario minifigs after 7 years of course building system ffs...

Imo, pokemon is one of the most valuable IPs in the world and it feels like Lego is mistreating it, this theme could've been bigger than star wars (during their peak since sw is pretty dead now)

>>11804887
Ok im not gonna lie this looks fucking epic.

With the whole first wave now revealed, I think Lego did a very good job in designing the Smart Play sets. I have no interest in that style of sets, but the age range they are designing for will. The blocky look takes getting used to, but first off its Lego and blocks and second off each was clearly designed so you could easily remove and replace the Smart Brick. The design has to therefore fit around that requirement.

The mix of this, the brick built statues of Pokemon and the rumored Poke Ball with interior scene set seems like a pretty good launch for Lego and Pokemon. Way better than what Mega ever did.

Why even live, I legit want a lot of these sets (don't care about smart brick or smart tags, will probably throw those in the trash)

I genuinely think these sets look fun and cute, what a shame I won't be able to buy them

>seems like a pretty good launch for Lego and Pokemon
nope.

this CMF figure has a new hair piece (the hair piece is dual-molded colors), new printed torso/legs. new molded animal companion piece.

five bucks. $5

there's no reason Lego couldn't do the same thing for Pokemon. THAT is what customers expected. minifigs. in little scenes with little Pokemon.

Lego failed. anything besides that is going to look ridiculous. it makes them look like idiots. sorry. it's the truth.

So if Lego started releasing sets with trainer minifigures and pokemon figures similar to the minifigure scale such as the dragon in pic related; How many of these pokemon and trainer would you potentially want to collect?

The display despite being half the bags is flimsy and feels like it’s going to fall apart. At least the deku tree base is solid by comparison. The big Ganon is so fucking top heavy and convoluted in construction it damn near falls over despite being being clipped to the base. It’s like trying to pose one of those damn NECA gargoyles.
I could go on and on but hot damn what a hot turd… glad the minifigures clock in at $230… soulless faces and all.

New Zelda set coming this fall, will have new BotW Zelda and Link Minifigs and a big scale brick built master sword with a display piece. Will be far cheaper than deku tree but a little more expensive than Ganondorf set.

Kids are absolutely familiar with the original anime. My niece and nephew watch it on Netflix. And I was at a 70th birthday party just this weekend, and there was a boy with a pokemon lunchbox thing. I asked him what his favourite pokemon were and he more or less ignored the question and just listed off in order all the Pokemon Ash caught and how he caught them.

Lego has already established a design consistency and it would seem awkward, or out of place, or not-"Lego" if the Pokemon were both small AND built out of bricks. minifig trainers would require the same type of companions.

everything else about that pic is solid gold. Lego would make sure to include le-black-display-base adding 4000 more pieces so they can properly charge $500 for it tho

Nintendo does not have a say in what the Lego set looks like. If anything they probably insisted on NO fucking stickers. But no, they are not responsible for designing this crap or the Mario sets. It's actually a guy at Lego who got told by everyone on staff that this was a really bad idea. That's why for Zelda and Animal Crossing they went with minifigs. Most likely the Pokemon sets were in development a while back with the the smart brick shit but they wanted to debut it with Star Wars (and nobody took the bait).

Also fun fact: Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon. If there's any problem it's probably Pokemon Co.'s fault.

it would be different if you did not know about the controversy. but you DO know. and you still choose to give those [crooks?] your business. yes, the [crooks] get your money despite muh-nice-local-store-owners

to you, the BaM stores should have virtually vanished. yes they are technically still there, but you shouldn't be going in. I don't think it's up to [us?] to protest outside the stores to spread the story, but if you know about it, and still go in... that's morally wrong.

b-but I don't know the whole story, I'm not the lawyer so it's not up to me to punish them, or punish myself by excluding the store from my shopping options.

what a strange dilemma. I'm glad I don't have one of those stores near me to have to make that choice (I probably wouldn't go, myself)

Nintendo not having a say in the broader play pattern of the products using their IP (large play figures and display pieces vs minifigure playsets)

>>11806007
>Nintendo does not have a say in what the Lego set looks like.
yes. exactly.
Lego hands them a prototype set and says "is this cool?" and the Nintendo guy says "where are the Minifigs?" and the Lego guy says "we think this will sell better, so that's what we're doing. is it good like this though?" and the Nintendo guy says "sure. Squirtle always had a moon buggy, right?"

the Nintendo guy is NOT the guy saying "giant square-faced Pokemon! that's what we thought you'd do! so do that!"

>your expectations for next year
I personally expect more of the same but much more insane, for example now most of the budget will go only to show sets and legends, for 2026 it was split with legacy

I also expect some new location sets, a new destiny bounty (because I think the one with wheels retires by december next year), maybe we get a Legends destiny bounty

I expect the duskfall storyline from this year legends stuff to lead to a full fledged show very soon, the next gen of ninjago

The storyline of dragons rising should in theory end in 2027 with the 5 seasons story arc. We also should get more info on the live action movie (with a 2028/2029 release window). Ras master is probably the tiger from season 2 of DR that the F5 imprisoned.

>>11806125
>anime accurate
Funny thing is Fortnite will get anime skins soon for One Piece and we might get our first anime one piece minifigs.... in fortnite lol

I do think our best bet at an anime OP set is a thousand sunny 18+ set since baratie will retire in july 2027 and it will be a while until live action gets to sunny (if they get that far, they didn't start filming season 4 yet, though its being written)

Genuine question here guys, with seeing what's happening to other hobbies and speculative investing; what is stopping someone from doing a buy out of a set or mini on Bricklink and ebay and completely wiping out all inventory to pump said item's price?

>What went wrong with this theme?
terrible set design. requires you buy every set, as each one is specifically missing something that should be there, but is in a different set.

for example Miss All Sunday included in $200+ set she has no reason to be in other than pay-that-$200-suckah

I want to slap the Lego employee who thought it was a good idea to have sets with and without Luffy WEARING his hat, it's so frustrating argh he's the main character and his hat is his most important thing aaaaaargh!!!! why do I need to spend $100+ to get him wearing his hat!!!!!!!! seriously hat-wearing should be a requirement in every set he's in.

>>11806137
nothing but it is not really lucrative in the long run since it's easy and cheap for the manufacturer to restock it, they already made atleast 4x the money back (extremely low estimate) just from the scalper buying it, and if people are patient they can just wait for it to be restocked and buy it at RRP, also if scalpers do this too much it makes the sets or cards worth less second-hand since there are way more of them produced.
But if scalpers do this for sets that are already out of production it's way worse, if you buy up all of a certain set or figure on bricklink you can easily get a monopoly on it, luckily most scalpers are not smart enough to think of this.

It’s a weird situation for sure,
The Lego stores near me aren’t any better either. Statue shit and IP trash fill the shelves, and the prices are nuts too. The PAB walls are dismal. Half the wall is bright colored 1x1 studs, tiles and cheese slopes. At least at B&M I can get what I need and find some cool old school pieces, but the set prices are also questionable.
Basically boils down to which shitty company I’m gonna give my money to.

They only check if the characters look accurate. They leave the models up to designers, like the ? Box? Those are not in Mario 64 and the interior is Mario 64 stuff. The NES with the TV?

We can make this more expensive with this shit that also requires the Mario smart figure".

I never watched seasons 2 and 3 because I heard they turned into Ahsokaslop but I still think season 1 was probably the best thing that Disney ever managed to squeeze out using the Star Wars brand. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would really appeal to children though. They need to focus on prequels/Clone Wars sets since I think at this point that is what most Star Wars collectors are interested in, but they keep half-assing all of the prequel era sets and then massively overpricing them in order to funnel money into shartbrick sets and Groguslop
